Big fat Punjabi wedding for Kapil Sharma, Ginni Chatrath in December

Meanwhile, after two shows ended abruptly, the actor is all set to return to the small screen with his signature comedy show around Diwali

Kapil Sharma has been prepping up for his small screen return for a few months now. The actor was recently spotted working out at the gym to get back in shape after battling various health issues. Now, Mirror has learnt that even on the personal front the actor-comedian-host has reason to celebrate. He will be tying the knot with fiancée Ginni Chatrath in December.

A friend of Kapil reveals that the wedding will be in his hometown Amritsar and preparations have begun. “It will be a four-day long, big, fat Punjabi wedding for which his friends from the film industry will be flying down to Punjab. He will be hosting a party in Mumbai later,” the friend added.

In March last year, Kapil had announced his relationship with Ginni. He had posted, “Will not say she is my better half . She completes me. Love u Ginni, please welcome her. I love her so much.”

Meanwhile, as Mirror had reported (August 30), Kapil is ready to return to TV with a comedy show on Sony. The actor confirmed the news on Saturday, as did the channel’s spokesperson, saying, “Yes, Kapil Sharma is coming home to our channel with his highly successful weekend comedy show ‘The Kapil Sharma show’. We are delighted and looking forward to collaborate with Kapil and his talented creative team and actors again.”

Earlier, in March, the actor’s last stint on televsion, the game show Family Time with Kapil Sharma, ended after just three episodes. The Kapil Sharma show too had ground to an abrupt halt in August 2017 after a mid-air brawl with co-actor Sunil Grover lead to him a few others walking out of the show. Their exit hit Kapil badly, and he left a string of Bollywood actors from Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn to Emraan Hashmi and Shraddha Kapoor waiting on the sets and sometimes even not turning up.

In an earlier interview to Mirror (September 7), Kapil had admitted from a holistic healthcare centre in Bangalore that the channel has always stood by him. “I have a wonderful relationship with the Sony team. Another channel would have put insane pressure on me to carry on, but the Sony bosses never issued any threats. I could not afford to cancel another episode, so I called them and requested that I wanted to take a break. They readily agreed. They have been really supportive. I will complete my medical course and start promoting my film before returning to the show. I have no plans of leaving Sony,” he had asserted.

Meanwhile, he is busy with the promotions of his Punjabi production, Son of Manjeet Singh, a father-son relationship which releases later this month.
